What is sourdough starter?

Sourdough starter is a living culture of wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria used to leaven bread. Through natural fermentation, your bread develops a delicious sour taste – better texture and a crispy crust – and is more digestible than bread made with commercial yeast. The starter will live indefinitely if you feed it regularly.

Why dried starter?

Long shelf life – lasts for months to years when stored dry – easy to store – no refrigeration needed – perfect gift – ideal for beginners or as a backup – always available when you want to start. Dried starter is dormant and becomes active once you feed it with flour and water.

Activation and Use

Day 1: Mix the dried starter with 50 ml lukewarm water and 50 grams of flour – stir well – cover with a cloth. Day 2-7: Discard half and add 50 ml water and 50 grams of flour daily – after 5-7 days you'll see bubbles and it will smell sour – now the starter is active and ready to bake bread with. Store in the refrigerator and feed weekly.
